Love Story
Every story is different; every story is the same.
In first grade I liked two girls: Felicia and Jessie.* I liked Felicia because she was pretty and could run fast. Running fast was important to me, and the idea of Felicia and me running fast together was powerful. I pictured us running through wheat fields and football fields—and beside the sea with wet sand flying up behind us. I didn't tell Felicia about any of this because I liked her too much.
Jessie wasn't as pretty or as fast as Felicia; but she was fun, and I could just be myself around her. Once a week Jessie and I walked from Rossman Elementary together, Jessie to her house and me to my grandparents' house. We talked about recess and our teacher, Mrs. Johnston, and about maybe playing "Captain May I?" later that evening in my grandparents' front yard.
Grandma had Pop-Tarts and milk waiting for me, and while I ate she asked me all kinds of questions about school and with a sparkle in her eye asked if I had any "little girlfriends." I told her about Felicia and Jessie and said they weren't my "girlfriends." But, you know, they were "girls" and "friends." We both laughed and decided we would call them "special friends."
I liked Tricia in second grade. I'd transferred from a large public school with hundreds of kids to a little Adventist church school with only a dozen. Tricia was an older woman: a fourth grader. She had short hair and unusual eyes, and I had no idea what to say to her. The best I could do was to hang out with her third-grade brother Jack, hoping it would somehow pay off.
At Jack's birthday party we played tackle football in the mud, and the whole time I was aware of his sister, hoping she saw my ferocious play. At the end of the school year I was shocked to hear that Tricia's family was moving from Minnesota to California. I hadn't planned on this at all. What were her parents thinking?
The situation called for a desperate measure. The last day of school I won a giant full-color Reagan/Bush election poster in a class drawing. All year I'd dreamed of winning that poster as it hung on the wall beside Jimmy Carter. Reagan looked so cheerful; Carter looked stressed. After school I rolled up the poster and followed Tricia down the hallway. "Hey, Tricia," I said as she walked down the stairs, "do you want this poster? I don't really want it."
Tricia seemed a little surprised, but she smiled politely and took the poster and left. I always wondered if she kept it. I also wondered if she might have been a Democrat.
Other Girls, Other Experiences
In fifth grade I returned to public school because there weren't any other boys left in church school. Jessie was still there, but she was no longer the cute little girl I'd walked from school with. She'd gotten heavy and had taken her place among the girls the boys didn't pay attention to. I felt bad for her, but didn't make an effort to talk with her. I figured she probably didn't even remember our first grade walks anyway.
Instead, I liked a new girl, Stephanie. Stephanie had wavy blond hair and played flute in band, and a lot of boys liked her, including my best friend Jim, who was class president. I was vice president, which meant that if Jim got shot or his schoolbus arrived late, I had to be ready at a moment's notice. I couldn't imagine anyone liking Stephanie as much as I did; I even felt protective when someone said her name.
At recess Stephanie and her friends ran back and forth on the playground with word of who-liked-who, and I always hoped for good news. Then one morning someone had written Stephanie-n-Andy on the chalkboard, and on a field trip later that day Stephanie playfully sang "You Are My Sunshine" to me. I pretended to hate it, but I secretly liked it. Fifth grade was the greatest year ever, and school days were light and innocent.
Then in sixth grade one of the boys, Scott, began trying to kiss Stephanie. He'd rush up and grab her, and she'd scream "Get away! You're so disgusting!" I felt a conflict of emotions. On one hand, I thought it was funny because Scott was such a crazy guy and I couldn't believe he would do that. But I also noticed how angry Stephanie got. Her demeanor completely changed; it was the only time she stopped smiling. Part of me felt like standing up for her and telling Scott to back off, but I didn't. I just laughed along with the other boys.
I liked Kelly in seventh grade, my first year of junior high. Kelly was a different type of girl than I'd ever liked before. We sat in the back of Mr. Bowman's math class, and Kelly gave me an education. She showed me "pop tops" (the tabs from soda cans) she was collecting because she liked Jeff. She explained that one pop top meant a kiss. Twenty pop tops meant a "home run." I was startled to hear a girl talk like this so casually. I felt like I'd entered a strange new world, and it was difficult to concentrate on Mr. Bowman.
Kelly had a little book called Ask Beth, which answered questions I'd never even thought of asking. I began to get the feeling that I was way behind everyone else. My classmates started having parties in their basements. I went along but felt overwhelmed by all the drama—especially the world's most frightening game, Truth or Dare—and I found myself missing the simpler days on the playground.
Then at the end of eighth grade, I had a party too, at the suggestion of friends who noticed we had a nice basement. I invited Kelly but the day before I overheard her and a break-dancer named Mike talking about "Andy's Kool-Aid party," which made me feel stupid. We weren't having Kool-Aid! We were having pop and pizza and watching Karate Kid, which I didn't think was so bad.
A quiet girl named Carrie came to my party, and that summer we started calling each other. When my parents said Carrie was on the phone, I went way back in the corner of my bedroom so absolutely no one could hear me, especially my younger sister, Angel, who couldn't be trusted. Often there wasn't much to hear. Our conversations had long gaps of total silence, and I'd sit there thinking, I can't believe no one is saying anything.
Carrie and I played racquetball and went to a James Bond movie, and by the start of ninth grade we were even "going together" for a few weeks until one day she told me she just wanted to be friends. This didn't really surprise me because I was having a tough time just being myself. Beneath the surface I was still a sensitive Christian kid, and it wasn't easy attending a raucous public school. I felt like two different people and found myself retreating deeper and deeper into my shell.
Those Awkward Years
In tenth grade my family moved to Orlando, Florida, and enrolled me at Forest Lake Academy. Initially I was very reserved. When a nice girl named Debbie starting coming to visit me at my job in the typing department, the conversation would typically falter. Everything I said sounded idiotic. Then I came up with an idea. I made a list of interesting topics and placed it on my desk just out of Debbie's view. Whenever a conversation started to fade, I'd just simply refer to the list and choose a topic that looked good: (1) Had a biology test this morning. (2) Kenny G coming to Orlando next month. (3) It's hot today. (4) How are you?
One afternoon as we were talking, I got called to the computer lab for something. When I got back, Debbie was gone. That night I got a call from one of Debbie's friends who happened to be dating one of my friends, John. She said, "Hey, Andy, I just wanted to get your advice on something. Sometimes with John I don't know what to say. Do you think I should make a list?" I hung up, totally humiliated.
By the end of the year I began emerging from my shell. I was making more and more friends and I loved being in a Christian school. Going to spiritual programs instead of parties was a huge relief. Over the next two years I got elected to student association, played first-chair sax in band, and went on two mission trips to Mexico and Honduras.
I dated several girls, including Filipino and Spanish girls, which we didn't have in Minnesota. I didn't date as much as my friends did, but they barely had time for guy stuff and most of their relationships didn't last beyond graduation anyway. I finished high school with good memories and figured that I'd find the perfect girl for me in college.
But four years later, I hadn't yet found the perfect girl. All through college at Southern Adventist University I watched my friends drop like dominoes while I waited patiently in the draw pile. With plenty of free time, I focused on school, grew closer to God, and volunteered a year as a student missionary in Thailand.
Returning to Southern for my junior year I double-downed in my effort to find the right girl. But whenever I dated someone, either I was trying to talk myself into it, or worse, she was. The closest I got to even hearing about the "right girl" for me was a phone call from a friend in Texas named Bernie, who I'd met in Hawaii for student missionary training. Bernie said he'd found the "totally perfect girl" for me: someone named Cindy at Southwestern Adventist University. "That's great," I told Bernie, "but I'm in Tennessee, remember?"
After Christmas break my senior year, I returned to campus for my final semester. I was swamped with a double-major and two jobs as student dean and student newspaper editor. I really didn't have time for anything else and had written off meeting the right girl at Southern. At my first meal back, I walked into the cafeteria and looked for someone to sit with. I saw a friend, Eric, sitting with his girlfriend, Heidi, and some other people. As I took a seat, Heidi said, "Hey, Andy, do you know my sister, Cindy? She used to go to Southwestern." Heidi motioned to the girl sitting next to me.
I turned my head and found myself looking into the eyes of the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen in my life.
"Oh, hi," I managed to say.
"Hey," she said, smiling.
As I shook her hand, I began processing something: Cindy from Southwestern?
I leaned in. "By any chance," I said, "do you know anyone named Bernie?"
She tilted her head. "Yeah . . ." she said. "Do you?"
We shared a look of strange recognition. Bernie had told me about Cindy, and Cindy about me.
Bernie's prophecy would prove true. Cindy was the girl I'd always dreamed of: beautiful, spiritual, fun, smart, sensitive, perfect. Even more important, Cindy was the girl God had dreamed of . . . for me. Suddenly everything made sense, and for the first time I understood how it felt to be in love. I couldn't believe how happy I was. I just couldn't believe it.
Cindy and I were engaged by Thanksgiving. We married the following June. Eight years later we returned to live in Tennessee with our three daughters, Ally, Morgan, and Summer. Now and then we even eat in the same cafeteria. Cindy becomes more and more beautiful to me every year, and I love her with all my heart.
The Joy Set Before You
Every now and then I wonder: What if I had missed out on Cindy? What if I had settled for another relationship that wasn't there? What if I'd forfeited other life experiences—such as being a student missionary—because I was too focused on finding "the one"?
Cindy and I both offer the same advice to young people excited about meeting their true love someday.
1. Act the way you're supposed to act at each stage of life and love. In other words, if you're dating in high school, act like you're in high school. Don't act like you're on the verge of becoming engaged. Keep things light, fun, and appropriate to your stage of life. Married people never wish they'd gotten more involved in their past dating relationships; they only wish they'd gotten less involved. God gives us great freedom in our relationships, as He does in life. But when we make decisions at odds with His principles and His timing, we can short-circuit His grand plans for us. I think of the fifty-something man who kept shaking his head and repeating the words: "Look what that 18-year-old kid did to me. Look what that 18-year-old kid did to me." He was talking about himself. The choices he'd made as an 18-year-old still plague him decades later.
2. Practice treating the opposite sex with respect. No matter your age, one of the best ways to establish good patterns in your future relationships is to treat the girls and guys in your life like your sisters and brothers. (Actually, you might want to treat them better than your sisters and brothers.) I wish I'd stood up for Stephanie when she looked so distressed, somehow grasping the protectiveness I now feel as a father of three daughters. What good is a good heart unless you're willing to express it? By treating the girls and guys in your life not as objects, but as daughters and sons of God, you will change your world.
3. Listen to the counsel of wise friends and family. This won't always be easy. When we like someone—and we're attracted to them—it's not fun to have others tell us this person isn't right for us. What do they know? But step back a second and ask yourself: Do you trust the judgment of your close friends and family? Are they usually right when assessing the relationships of others? If so, are they probably right about you?
4. Remember that you're marrying your children's parent. If you have children someday, for most of your marriage you will view your spouse not as that giggly girl or guy you dated, but as the father or mother of your children. You'll even start calling your spouse Dad or Mom. ("Ask Dad to help you with your homework." "Tell Mom we're ready to leave.") You may forget your spouse's name altogether! No, not really. But in your dating years, as you sit eating ice cream and gazing into each other's eyes, ask yourself: Is this the person you want taking your kids out for ice cream someday? Even more important, is this the person you want taking your kids to church?
5. Be loyal to the person you'll marry someday. What does that mean: That you shouldn't date anyone as you grow up? No, of course not. It's healthy and good to socialize in your youth. But when you take a wider perspective—recognizing that the person you're going to marry is probably someone you haven't yet met—you'll find yourself more relaxed, more careful, with those in your life right now. (Remember, they too will be someone else's spouses someday.)
Solomon wrote, "Place me like a seal over your heart" (Song of Songs 8:6). Someday your spouse will be a seal over your heart. But right now, there should only be one seal over your heart: Jesus Christ. He knows the end from the beginning. He's guiding your steps, and those of your future spouse. And at the right time, he'll bring your paths together.

Bowed Psaltery - KITbpkit
Product Details
This bowed psaltery design is the best we've seen. You'll love how the hardwood frame fits together. After gluing and clamping the box, you'll drill 70 holes for the pins and marker dots. We provide the drill bits, but you'll need a drill press to do a nice job. Apply the finish and decorate the front with a medium rosette. Installing the hardware and strings is a detail job that requires patience, but the end result is worth the effort.
I just finished building a Music Makers bowed psaltery kit using instructions a six yr old could follow. It looks and sounds great. Music Makers' customer service is unsurpassed. I am well pleased with their products and the way they do business.

Yesterday I ran my first half-marathon. This was a huge feat for me because I hate running. Truthfully, I've only had maybe two good days in my life where I can recall genuinely enjoying my run.
My running has gotten more bearable with the help of learning and practicing meditation - my college roommate once described running as purely mental for her, which I never understood. But as I delved deeper into the art of meditation and realized how much it helped to pace myself into my run and to develop a connection with my running as opposed to just doing it, I got better at it. I still struggle with it, and there are days where I have to take breaks because I'm just not into it. But I'm getting better at coaching myself through my runs. It feels good to take this first step towards redefining my relationship with something I dreaded.
One my then co-workers was scheduled to work this past weekend and didn't want her bib number to go to waste. She's one of my biggest running inspirations because she's a mother of three, works the night shift, and still has somehow found a way to run the Boston Marathon three times on top of running a couple of other half marathons. Those kinds of people amaze me. I worked two nights in the hospital and just had myself to care for, and I could barely manage to get myself to the gym three days a week! The fact that she accomplished so much amongst managing her other responsibilities made me really want to step my game up.
So when she asked if I wanted to take her number, I knew I'd regret saying no. It was definitely nerve-racking, and I barely got any sleep the night before. I was still anxious going into the third mile but eventually found my groove and finished despite the rain and aching knees.
You don't have to run fast, you just have to run.

Thank you to my best friend and my boyfriend for being my photographer that day :)
Fellow Biological Science graduates
When it was time, we began to walk from the Windsor Building to the Founders Building. We walked through the Picture Gallery and the Church Chapel and then went outside to wait for our turn at the ceremony. Honestly I don't remember what happened when it was my turn, except that I was feeling really nervous. I remember thinking afterwards "did I shake the principal's hand (I did, confirmed by the professional photograph) and feeling awkward as I walked out with all the guests watching (introvert problems).
My awkward face.
It really sucks how the weather that day was not that great, that is at times pouring rain, which made taking photos a difficult task. Funnily enough, this week, the weather is hot and sunny (a rare occasion for British summer weather). We can't control the weather, but we can make the most of what we can. We made use of the time when it didn't rain before the ceremony and whenever it stopped raining afterwards. Also, personally I'm not a photogenic girl, so taking photos of me was already a difficult task haha.
Anjalee graduating on the same day as me and Yong Xue but with an English degree!
Natalie, who's practically my sister :)
Over the past three years, I have met so many wonderful people, learnt so much and grown as a person. So what happens now?
Next stop: Masters at Imperial College London.

What does it say?
2Chronicles opens with Solomon and his chiefs in Gibeon where David had established the tabernacle of the congregation. God appears to him and promises to grant him his desire. Solomon asks God for wisdom and knowledge. God answers his prayer and the chapter describes Solomon's strength and wealth (2Chr 1)
The title of Psalm 72 tells us that this psalm is the prayer of David for his son Solomon as he is established upon the throne of Israel. David prays that his kingdom would be characterized by righteousness, peace and prosperity.
What does it mean?
We have already commented how the opening years of Solomon's reign especially foreshadow the coming of the Messiah. The parallels are many: son of David, full of wisdom and knowledge and bringer of peace and prosperity. Both of our passages today highlight this opening phase of Solomon's kingdom.
Today, many see Psalm 72 as a beautiful prophecy of Christ's Second Coming, and those prophetic elements undoubtedly are there. However, we need to remember that as David penned this psalm he is very definitely thinking of his son. The Hebrew people of David's day clearly hoped and prayed for the day when the Messiah would come, but they make no distinction between his first and second comings. None of that is understood until Jesus Christ is rejected by his own and promised to return. Looking backward we now see what previous generations could not.
Do not miss the missional aspect of Solomon's reign. See especially Psalm 72:8-11 and 17-19 that look forward to that day when knowledge of the Lord will fill the earth and passages such as this and Revelation 5:9 become reality.
How will I respond?
For centuries Solomon's ascent to the throne of Israel has been a symbol of fullness, wisdom, peace and prosperity. He symbolizes the hope we have in Christ. How does my life reflect Christ to others? What about Christ do people see in me? Do they only see him bail me out of my problems (that's a good and natural thing, too), or do they also see that his righteousness, wisdom, knowledge and peace is growing in me? What one thing can I do today to be a positive reflection of Christ to someone else?

These example sentences are selected automatically from various online news sources to reflect current usage of the word 'football.' Views expressed in the examples do not represent the opinion of Merriam-Webster or its editors. Send us feedback.
The game of US football evolved in the 19th century as a combination of rugby and soccer. The first intercollegiate match was played in 1869 between Princeton University and Rutgers College. In 1873, the first collegiate rules were standardized and the Ivy League was formed. Collegiate football grew into one of the most popular American sports. Professional football began in the 1890s, but did not become a major sport until after World War II. The National Football League (NFL) was formed (from an earlier association) in 1922; in 1966 it subsumed the rival American Football League (created in 1959). The NFL is now divided into an American and a National conference; the conference winners compete for the Super Bowl championship. A Football Hall of Fame is located in Canton, Ohio.

DEDIPAC, the Determinants of Diet and Physical Activity Knowledge Hub, was the first action taken by the JPI Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life, to better align research across Europe on healthy dietary and physical activity behavior. Over the past three years, around 300 researchers from 13 countries have provided better insight into the 'causes of the causes' of important, non-communicable diseases across Europe to translate this knowledge into more effective promotion of healthy diet and physical activity.
DEDIPAC has generated 38 publications until now, the more recent one summarizes major DEDIPAC's findings on the state of the art, what was achieved in terms of furthering measurement and monitoring, and building toolboxes for further research and practice. Additionally, DEDIPAC proposes some of the next steps that are now required to move forward in this field.
Through systematic literature reviews, DEDIPAC found a great deal of variation in terms of assessment methods used and reported behavioral outcome variables. This means that information on these behaviors across all of Europe is still scarce and that studies in this field are difficult to compare. This may stem from a lack of data on determinants.
Concrete products developed in the context of DEDIPAC include determinant frameworks for dietary, physical activity and sedentary behavior. Open-access toolboxes were also created that provide measurement methods for this behavior and its determinants, as well as methods to develop, implement and evaluate interventions and policies. The toolboxes and all of the DEDIPAC publications, including the summarizing article, can be found at www.dedipac.eu.
DEDIPAC is supporting the Knowledge Hub continuation and further commitment, in an effort to create a sustainable European network centre for research and expertise on behavioral nutrition and physical activity.

The launch of O2's broadband service and bundles is imminent following a series of delays, it has been claimed.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, the service, which will use Be Internet's ADSL2+ network which offers speeds of 24Mbps, will be launched this month having previously been stymied by technical problems.
Speaking at the time of O2's acquisition of broadband provider Be Internet in June, O2's chief executive officer Peter Erskine said that the network is in line to cover around 66 per cent of the UK's population.
O2 is also poised to launch its series of broadband bundles, which some have predicted will take the form of a quad play package combining mobile, landline, DSL broadband and TV.
Commenting on O2's chances in the broadband market, Screendigest.com said: "O2 could be seen to stand at an advantage over its rivals in being able to market faster ADSL2+ speeds "up to" 24Mbit/s (even though experienced speed may be significantly slower) via Be's network).
"Nonetheless, it will need to price its broadband products very competitively to sign up customers new to broadband or encourage consumers to churn away from other providers."
